You could consider lowering the Seroquel to zero over a (say) three month period.
If they were all lowered over three months, that would be a year.
Allowing for backsliding and the usual crises, let's say three years.
There is a mindset (certainly when it comes to addictive drugs) that looks at it in an all or nothing way, contemplating the present with dislike and the future with dread.
It is better to try to forget all that and just tell yourself that you will no doubt take it again, but for the moment you will delay it until you need it.
Perhaps that way could be useful to you?
